Helpful programme!

Hello,

Well what to say.. I know John for some years know and we recently (last year) started to really work together on two programs: the clothing distribution in rural villages and (perhaps the most import one) the sponsoring program.

Last April I visited him in Mahabalipuram to see how everything was going and if our work actually meant something to the communities.

My friend and I stayed in a small penthouse on the rooftop in a safely secured appartment complex. John himself stayed in the same complex some floors down and all was well organized.

The penthouse is small but clean and big enough for one person. Even two people can stay there if you don't mind any privacy issues :)

The neighborhood is friendly and people are easy going.

The villages he works at, are extremely kind people and won't even hurt a fly if they had to.

It would be a great experience for any one to actually spend some weeks or months there to live a great adventure. Teaching English would be a great thing to do for these people and India is definitely not so scary as the media want to let you believe.

If you are considering to move to India for a while, go with his organisation because you will definitely have a great time and people will take care of you.

Good luck!
